Workshop

Submissions of extended abstracts describing exciting new
, in-progress, and/or experimental research are invited for
the Work-in-Progress (WiP) session of the IEEE International
Conference on Sustainable Computing and Communications (SustainCom 2016)
. The WiP session is devoted to the presentation of new and on-going
research in sustainable computing systems, theory, as well as innovative
applications. The primary purpose of the WiP session is to provide
researchers with an opportunity to discuss their evolving ideas and
gather feedback from the sustainable computing community at large
. Of particular interest are ideas and contributions that present
significant paradigm shifts, explore unique and unconventional
approaches to important problems, or investigate fundamental departures
from conventional wisdom in adopted solutions. WiP topics include
, but are not limited to:

Computing Algorithms for Reduced Power, Energy and Heat

Sustainable Real-time systems

Power-efficient Computing Architectures

Low Power Electronics

Energy-Efficient Communication Protocols

Security and Privacy

Green Communication Architecture and Framework

Green Systems Planning and Design

Optimization Techniques for Efficient Energy Consumption

Use of Low Power Electronics for Environment Monitoring

Smart Control Applications

Smart Energy-Efficient Sensor Networks and Internet-of-Things

Case Study and Innovative Application for Sustainability

The WiP session will be held during the symposium. Accepted submissions
will be included in a SustainCom Proceedings, which will be distributed
to all SustainCom symposium participants and will be available electronically
from the IEEE Xplore Digital Library. One author of every accepted paper
should be registered to the conference and present the paper during the
conference. All WiP papers will be presented orally.

Submission Instructions

SustainCom WiP welcomes paper submissions on innovative work from
researchers in sustainable computing and communication. Papers should
be formatted as single-space, double-column (normal IEEE format),
in a 10 point font. Templates are available at:
http://www2.computer.org/portal/web/cscps/formatting
and should not exceed 4 pages in length. Accepted papers will be
published in the IEEE Xplore Digital Library. Authors of selected papers
will be invited to submit an extended version (with at least 30% new material)
for review and publication in special issues of international journals.
Special issues of journals on selected WiP papers are under negotiation.
